David Geffen couldn't; this guy CERTAINLY can't.

This also describes Mitch McConnell.

We've now learned of 15 MiLB staffers who will not return to the Nats, as well as 3 MiLB managers who will return in unknown roles.

That, plus more on the MLB staff, a catching kerfuffle and an internal analytics debate.

Nats part with player development staff amid organizational overhaul

The decisions follow the departures of a handful of top executives on Wednesday, including assistant general manager Mark Scialabba.

That would be such a funny song for a coming-out party.

Maybe. If I were a Yankees fan, I'd definitely feel that way. And to be clear, I'm not exactly sure what it says about them, but this is abnormal and really reserved for exactly one (1) team.

Twins! I first moved to San Diego. Was there for two years before moving up here.

It's October, so he didn't do anything.

LOL it was a fragment from a conversation I had with an Angels fan making fun of Kershaw, so I had to get a little jab in.

Eephus Tosser @eephustosser.bsky.social · 1d

I just feel like, at this point, anyone who wants to be reasonably informed about the scandal would be already.

Nobody who says, "Astros fans deny the team cheated" is interested in good faith.

I'm sorry, who is 2-time All-Star Alejandro Kirk?
Who is 12-year MLB veteran Kevin Gausman???
WHO IS GEORGE SPRINGER?!!!?!!?!!

"Who even are these guys", is such an indictment of how baseball is covered.

Here's to my then-best friend who, at my going-away dinner, smirked and said he'd "probably see me again real soon" because I'd come slinking back to Ohio.

Just realized that today is the twentieth anniversary of my move to California.

Clayton Kershaw still has more postseason hits (6) than Mike Trout (1).

"Quantify" is about the twentieth word he has used incorrectly. I think I'm beginning to see what the problem is here.

Eephus Tosser @eephustosser.bsky.social · 1d

You don't get to cheer for the obvious darlings of MLB and then pretend that the commissioner unfairly defended a team that wronged you.

Eephus Tosser @eephustosser.bsky.social · 1d

I'm blocking him because life is too short.

I'll be happy to. It's demonstrably true. You sound like an insane person.

Eephus Tosser @eephustosser.bsky.social · 1d

It quite literally does not have an asterisk lol that's the whole thing you're whining about.

Agreed. In fact they should sign Aaron Boone to an extension.

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 1d

The Yankees need to make some changes.

Firing Aaron Boone or Brian Cashman shouldn't be among them, Ken Rosenthal writes.

Clayton Kershaw has now allowed 32 career postseason HR, tying Justin Verlander for most all time

I would like to see one person from each team's booth and then a "neutral" PBP person.

Tonight has proven it on so many levels.

I went to my philosophy final after missing all but two classes. The professor handed me a different final than everyone else. Mine just asked, "Why should I pass you when you've never been in class?"

I riffed a response about the class being a construct and I was as present as anyone. I got a C.

We should all tell our stories like this...mine is "the time I totally forgot about an essay and cranked out a paper on Deleuze & Guattari's Anti-Oedipus in two hours and ended up winning an award for it"

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

I'm sorry, but I was told that that was statistically impossible.
